When
I wore a younger man’s clothes and was far more impressed with myself I
would look at my bookshelves loaded down with spiritual tomes with
a sense of self-important satisfaction. Believing knowledge equaled demonstration, I
had convinced myself that I not just talked the talk, but walked the
walk. I could not have been more wrong. When the truth finally hit, it
was devastating. I had a head full of knowledge but had put precious
little of the “great truths” I said I believed in into action, and what I
had put into action was inconsistent and haphazard at best. I was the
antithesis of spiritual truth, talking the talk but not walking the
walk consistently.
So participate in and study the things that sing to you Spiritually, but
instead of always looking for something new, return to an old friend
and give it a look with the new
pair of “glasses” your living experience has provided you.
Today I “keep it simple.” I revisit a small
group of authors who have touched me over the years. Some of these
books I have read for decades and though I have traveled their path many
times, I continue to find fresh insights for my spiritual vision, as
yours, improves with age and action in purpose.
